So even though we haven't had big dumps, the base hasn't gone backwards.

I have no idea what my base does after a big dump, let alone before one!!

But yes, it's good that the snow cover has kept in tact. I guess those highs are good for something!

I haven't been following the weather as I usually would, for a few days so I was surprised to learn that there will be a low coming over tomorrow delivering widespread rain across a lot of the state. (unfortunately including the snow fields)

WR,

There won't be much rain over the snowfields, and what ever there is will be massively topped up very quickly with a huge accumulative dump over the next week. Oh dear. There's that word again.

Thanks Homer and Steve. As I said, I haven't really been checking out the weather and models but yes I was aware of some very decent snow after tomorrow, from the posts above. This has been my only weather info in the last few days until tonight.

We might see some snow in the area late Sunday or Monday. Doesn't look like anything huge BUT anything is better than nothing this "winter"

Donzah - any on ground reports appreciated

This will probably be the BEST week of snow this year down in the ski fields. Finally some proper accumulations.

Good point re the snow pack holding up - I watch Selwyn cams as a barometer of melt and they have stayed quite ok with a fairly thin cover to start with. Selwyn is good for that - a thin cover is still quite functional there The cam shot showing the tables is a good barometer for conditions there.

Hoping for another reasonable drop of rain later today to top up the 19mm we had on Tuesday. There is a very slight chance of snow here tonight/early Friday and again early Saturday morning, depending on which model you look at.

A few drops of precip o nite. Not enough to cover a hankie.Cloud and then sun. Sun and then cloud kind of day. I think the sat image is the best for the south east all winter. Cold air behind it. Prob wander to south east a bit too much for much up here. Be happy with a few mm the way things have been of late
